Patient's question:
Tonight I feel that my glans has some discomfort, it hurts, especially when urinating, it feels like a stinging sensation. After a careful examination, I found that my glans is slightly red and swollen. But I don't know what the condition is. So I thought it would be best to consult a doctor, whether my condition is balanitis?Doctor's answer:
When urinating, there is a recurrence of pain accompanied by redness and swelling of the glans. This may be a symptom of glans inflammation accompanied by a urinary tract infection. For this condition, local application of some antibiotics can be used to treat glans inflammation, while broad-spectrum antibiotics can be used to treat the urinary tract infection. Alternatively, you can go to the hospital for relevant tests of secretions and urine to identify the pathogen causing the infection, and then use targeted medication. For patients with glans inflammation, timely treatment can reduce the recurrence. If not treated in a timely manner, it may affect the overall health condition. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
